Troy Kinne’s heart is in the right place. As in, it’s on the wrong side.
Dr. Alan Mead steps in for Zach and Kevin in this "Very Clinical Takeover" episode to share his efficient and refined workflow for single-tooth crown preparations. Alan emphasizes that his streamlined, digital-centric process makes single crowns a quick, straightforward, and profitable procedure in his general practice. The core of the episode is his detailed Crown Prep Workflow and Hacks, which prioritizes patient comfort and efficiency. Profound Anesthesia: Mead's first step is always to achieve profound anesthesia, utilizing inferior alveolar nerve blocks for lower molars and buccal infiltrations (usually with Septocaine) for other teeth. He heavily relies on the Septodont Paroject pdl syringe for supplemental tissue anesthesia around the entire tooth, often using it to avoid packing cord. Pre-Op Digital Scan: He scans the arch using his Medit i700 before prepping the tooth. This pre-op scan is used to register the final prep scan, ensuring a stable and accurate bite registration, which he praises as a massive efficiency improvement over traditional PVS impressions. Prep Sequence: His prep sequence is intentionally designed for efficiency: Break Interproximal Contacts First: He uses a Microcopy 0512C inverted pear bur for gross contact breaking, followed by a Microcopy 33140.10vf ("skinny") fine-tipped diamond for careful separation at the gingival. Occlusal Reduction: He uses the Microcopy 2137C which large, barrel-shaped coarse bur in an electric handpiece for quick, proper occlusal reduction. Core Build-up: After removing any old restoration or decay, he prefers Cosmecore from Cosmedent for build-ups, sometimes blocking out with Fuji IX from GC. He utilizes an old-school metal matrix band with Bioclear Diamond Wedges for isolation during the build-up. Margin Refinement and Tissue Management: He finishes margins under high magnification (microscope) and prefers a very fine diamond bur (Microcopy 3116.8vf) instead of traditional polishing cups for a smooth finish. Mead emphasizes smoothing the adjacent teeth with a Sof-Lex disc to ensure the lab can create an ideal, broad interproximal contact. Retraction: Mead overwhelmingly prefers Traxodent from Premier in the unit dose syringe tips for quick and clean tissue retraction, stating it generally works better for digital scanning than retraction cord. Temporization: While his assistant fabricates the temporary using a pre-made matrix, Mead remotes into his computer to mark the margins on the digital scan. He uses Clinician's Choice Template Ultra Quick Matrix Material and Mirror Image temporary material from Cosmedent, which he quickly refines with a Sof-Lex disc. He cements the temp with Dentotemp by Itena provisional cement for its strong retention. Alan encourages listeners to critique his "bread and butter dentistry" workflow on the Very Clinical or Very Dental Facebook groups, as he believes an efficient crown prep is a key to a successful general practice.

One of our retreatants noticed a crow attacking its mirror image in the glass sliding door. He doesn't reckognize that the image it actually himself. Instead, he thinks it's another crow intruding into his territory. Ajahn Dhammasiha uses this as a metaphor for unskilful effort in meditation. In particular, we can't overcome the delusion of self by fighting it. If we take it for real, and fight it, it will only 'fight back' harder. The successful approach is to wisely observe it, analyse it, and reckognize it as an illusion.

When a man's reflection begins moving on its own, he realizes the mirror may be hiding something far more sinister than his own image.A man becomes unsettled when his reflection in a mirror begins to act independently—not mirroring his movements. At first he doubts it, but as the reflection starts making its own decisions, a chilling tension builds. The reflection's actions escalate into something malicious, forcing the man to confront the shocking realization that it may be a separate, sinister entity locked inside his mirror, threatening to take over. | #RetroRadio EP0462Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Last Trip of Charter Boat Sally” (July 15, 1976)00:45:28.662 = The LineUp, “The Fur Flaunting Floozy” (September 26, 1951)01:11:10.917 = Macabre, “Man In The Mirror” (November 27, 1961) ***WD01:40:13.336 = A Man Called X, “Stolen Diamonds” (November 25, 1944) ***WD02:09:22.339 = Philip Marlowe, Pigeon's Blood” (June 11, 1949)02:39:04.386 = Dark Fantasy, “The Thing From The Darkness” (April 03, 1942) ***WD03:03:32.178 = The Black Mass, “Shidah and Kuziba” (October 16, 1973) ***WD03:17:27.600 = Beyond Midnight, “The Thing In The Cabin 105” (February 28, 1969) ***WD03:48:17.040 = Mind Webs, “The Great Slow Kings” and “Earthman Bearing Gifts” (March 18, 1979)04:16:28.423 = Ellery Queen Minute Mysteries, “Tell Tale Desk” (1939-1948) ***WD04:17:21.472 = CBS Radio Workshop, “The Case of the White Kitten” (July 13, 1956) ***WD04:46:27.123 = Chamber of Horrors, “The Waxwork” (ADU) ***WD05:12:44.258 = Mystery In The Air, “Lodger” (August 14, 1947)05:42:18.629 = Molle' Mystery Theater, “Angel Face” (December 20, 1946)06:11:40.235 = Mr. District Attorney, “Money Machine” (April 11, 1951) ***WD06:41:34.935 = Cisco Kid, “Mummy In The Desert” (April 21, 1953) ***WD07:08:31.836 = Murder at Midnight, “Mark of Cain” (September 06, 1946) ***WD07:34:01.625 = The Black Museum, “The Brick” (January 29, 1952) ***WD07:56:17.509 = Mysterious Traveler, “Death Has a Cold Breath” (March 29, 1949) ***WD08:21:44.340 = Mystery House, “Subrosa Justice” (April 07, 1946) ***WD08:45:41.038 = Night Beat, “Big John McMasters” (March 04, 1951) ***WD09:15:15.961 = CBC's Nightfall, “Volcano” (March 05, 1982) ***WD09:44:30.235 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

Amino acids are a fundamental building block for fur, muscle, and every other living tissue on Earth. These molecules come in “left-handed” (L) and “right-handed” (D) forms, a bit like gloves that fit different hands or mirror images. Life largely runs on the left-handed set, so biologists once assumed the right-handed versions were irrelevant. Yet nature quietly manufactures these D-amino acids and they can play a role in certain biological processes. In research led by Japanese analytical chemist Ren Kimura of the R&D-Analytical Science Research department of the Kao Corporation, Japan, researchers reveal that these overlooked molecules may offer an early-warning beacon for one of the most common and deadly ailments in cats, chronic kidney disease (or CKD for short), and they may even have potential in diagnosing human conditions.
Listeners, welcome to the fifth dimension. We're joined by Dr. Kim Kiehl, Executive Director of the Ohioana Library Association, to discuss The Twilight Zone and its creator, Rod Serling. We focus on “Mirror Image,” an episode airing in Season 1 of the show's original run, but we also talk about the series at large, Serling's Ohio roots and his writing career, and just why The Twilight Zone remains relevant today. We also discuss cows, clowns, our own doppelgänger experiences, Ohioana's offerings, and more. Page Count is produced by Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library.

Another day, another friend needs our help. Merril reveals to us why she left her clan, a dark mirror that her people associate with evil due to the perceived role it played in the death of one of their people. Merril, convinced that the mirror holds the key to restoring a piece of elven history, is determined to repair it using blood magic. The mirror is incomplete and she needs a relic from her people to finish it–a relic that she must ask the keeper for. Afraid of her mother figure, Merril asks us to accompany her on this quest. Along the way, Merril receives the cold shoulder from everyone in her clan due to her work with demons and blood magic. This fear leads to the death of an innocent hunter and we must decide whether or not to support Merril's mission.

We kicked off our new series, “B.C”, we explore the Genesis story of Adam and Eve—not as ancient myth, but as a pattern we all repeat. At the core is a question we still face today: Who defines what is good—us or God? Jesus steps in as the true image of God, inviting us to trust Him with the definition of goodness.Key Takeaways:

Night of the Living Podcast: Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Discussion
Step into a world of doppelgangers and paranoia as Joe Juvland and Freddy Morris tackle "Mirror Image," a psychological thriller that makes us question our very existence. The hosts dive deep into this haunting Twilight Zone episode, where a young woman's mundane bus station wait turns into a nightmare when she encounters her exact double. Through their riveting discussion, Joe and Freddy explore how Rod Serling crafted one of the series' most memorable stories about identity and parallel universes, breaking down the brilliant performance by Vera Miles and the episode's lasting influence on horror and science fiction.

Tal Yahalom is an award-winning jazz guitarist and composer and you'll be getting a preview of his compelling quintet album Mirror Image with refreshingly unique instrumentation: violin, cello, percussion, sax and flute and both nylon-string and electric guitar. You'll be hearing excerpts from the album and hear about Tal's creative process and collaborators including percussioninst Rogerio Boccato and David Leon on sax and flute. Tal told me about some great advice he got from Pat Metheny, whom he met when Tal won the Detroit Jazz Festival National Guitar Competition, and the invaluable guidance of key mentors throughout his education and career. Tal recently came back from musically immersive travels in Brazil and Argentina, and it was inspiring to hear about his experiences their as well as hear about several of his collaborators, including his band KADAWA, and we're featuring a track from their new album as well. Towards the end of this interview, Tal shared some personal reflections on his new duo with vocalist Danielle Wertz, and some very wise insights into student-centered learning, which I think apply quite broadly, not just to music. Like all my episodes, you can watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast on all the podcast platforms, and I've also linked the transcript to my website https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/tal-yahalom Tal Yahalom Website Mirror Image Album (pre-order link; releasing March 21, 2025)KADAWA band Buy me a coffee?

This week on Miami Vice: Sonny goes back undercover to get closer to two bigwigs: Manolo and Gutierrez - against Tubb's wishes and ends up in an explosion. He survives (not to Vice's knowledge) but, has amnesia and now believes that he is his alter ego, Sonny Burnett. As he gets deeper into this new world, Tubbs is digging deeper into Manolo and Gutierrez (Antonio Fargas!) to figure out what really happened on that boat with help from the Ft. Lauderdale precinct. The same precinct that's trying to track down an internal leak to Gutierrez! What a season finale. Did I mentioned Julia Roberts?

Millicent Barnes is at a crossroads, ready to start a new life in Cortland, NY. All she needs to do is get on a bus. However, strange things start to happen to her.

Things get even stranger when she sees someone who looks just like her. It isn't long before Millicent finds herself at the end of her rope.

Welcome back to part 2 of our Wizards optimization discussion with the one and only Treantmonk! In the previous episode, we delved into the world of D&D 5e Wizards and explored their potential at lower levels. Now, we continue our journey and tackle the exciting realm of mid to high levels. Brace yourselves, as we discuss powerful spell choices, gameplay strategies, and the fierce competition for spells among our characters. Grab your spellbooks and let's dive in! Summary In part 2 of our Wizard optimization discussion with Treantmonk, we continue optimizing our Wizards. We continue from level 7 and discuss our spell choices and subclass features. The gameplay of each character is described, with Ash focusing on confusion and illusion, Randall using magic missile as a machine gun, Chris restraining and damaging enemies, and Tyler causing mischief from a distance. We also discuss the importance of spell selection and the competition for spells as wizards progress to higher levels. We're excited about the powerful spells we have access to and the creative ways in which we can use them. We discuss the importance of optimizing our characters and the fun of collecting and using a wide variety of spells. We talk about our choices for Spell Mastery feature at level 18. We briefly discuss their choices for second-level spells, with Chris taking Tasha's Mind Whip and Vortex Warp, Ash choosing Phantasmal Force and Mirror Image, and Randall debating between Web and Shatter. We debate the usefulness of the Wish spell and the potential problems it can cause at the table. In the final part of our conversation, we discuss our choices for signature spells at level 20. Takeaways Choosing the right spells is crucial for optimizing a Wizard character in D&D 5e. Each player has a unique play style and strategy based on their chosen subclass and spell selection. Higher-level spells offer more powerful and versatile options for combat and utility. Competition for spells in our spell draft increases as characters progress to higher levels.

The conversation highlights the camaraderie and enjoyment that can come from playing high-level wizards in Dungeons & Dragons.

Donald J. Trump is completely reshaping the Republican party into his image (for better or worse depending on your opinion), the new Republican party official platform moved closer to the center with supporting gay marriage for the first time ever as well as not pursuing a national abortion ban and respecting the supreme courts decision to let states make the decision on abortion. It's created a bit of a civil war between the Evangelical conservatives and what I call the "Barstool, Small government conservatives".
One of the Zhou's officers discovers that his powers aren't so unique after all.
In today's episode of the Balancing Chaos Podcast, Chad and Kelley sit down with Dr. Christian Gonzalez to discuss the importance of the mind body connection in healing chronic disease. Dr. Christian Gonzalez, aka Dr. G, began his career as a naturopathic doctor in 2014, but it wasn't until his mother passed of cancer that he decided to shift his focus to oncology. Through his work Dr. G has made it his mission for people to understand that the relationships we have with our homes, the environment, and the people in our lives all play a role in the development of chronic disease. As he studied this concept more, Dr. G has become extremely passionate about environmental medicine as well as the mind, body, spirit connection.Throughout the episode today, Kelley, Chad and Dr. G explore the concept of separating oneself from their ego to find inner peace and balance within the physical body. Dr. G shares insights on the mind-body connection and the importance of creating space within the physical body to alleviate stress and thereby help to prevent the onset of chronic disease from hormonal imbalances to cancer. The conversation details everything from what types of symptoms and conditions arise (from cancer to cortisol imbalances and everything in between) when we're not deeply connected to our physical bodies and when we're repressing emotions, how to begin to feel tension within your body and how to process it rather than store it, how to help our children navigate their emotions rather than getting them caught in a generational trauma cycle, the TRUTH about the impact of alcohol on your physical health and what to prioritize if you want to heal a chronic condition. Get ready for an insightful episode that will empower you to explore your emotional and mental health in order to heal your physical body.

TV's Kevin & Kat take a little side avenue before they close out Season One. It's like that time on LOST where like two or three episodes before the series finale, they just threw in a big flashback episode about Jacob & the Man in Black. Allison Janney was there. I feel like this has become pretty standard on TV since LOST kind of pioneered this format. You can't really watch a season of an HBO show without this happening now. Or even Apple TV+, which really THINKS it's the new HBO but I am not convinced. Anyway, this is a commentary over an episode of Miami Vice. That commentary begins at 16:57!
